Lungi, a Sri Lankan/South Indian restaurant with Michelin “bib gourmand” honors, is making the leap from Manhattan to Queens.
The restaurant, which can stay at 1166 First Ave. on the Upper East Side, will add a second outpost at 31-19 Newtown Lane in Astoria. The 15-year lease is for five,000 sq. toes, one of the neighborhood’s largest eating venues. The asking rent was $400,000 a 12 months.
The landlord, Phoenix Management, was repped by prolific Meridian Retail Leasing president James Famularo with Jacob Mayer and Marcelo Demoraes. Famularo mentioned Lungi, led by Mervyn Winston and chef/companion Albin Vincent, “brings together an extraordinary group of chefs each contributing their own culinary traditions and techniques.”
